| Artwork by Norman Fraser, |
Leaving from Montreal or Quebec City, the transatlantic crossing would avoids two days of open ocean crossing and would include almost 500 miles miles of St Lawrence river scenery.
Norman Foster was one of many artists employed by Canadian Pacific for many years. Like most of the artist/illustrators creating posters like these, he worked in obscurity, his work is rarely signed.
I assume the comparison being made here is to a New York departure. But yeah, scenery vs. well, sea-nery.

Doesn't say, but Boston or New York City were popular departure points. Of course there'd be more scenery on the train ride from either of those cities to Montreal!
